# Multi-entity accounts payable for CloudSuite Industrial

CloudSuite Industrial has multi-entity accounts payable built in. Pulsify gives each company its own address, suppliers and approval rules, with one login across all of them.

Multi-entity accounts payable means running supplier bills for several companies, each with its own books, from one team.

## What CloudSuite Industrial does on its own

CloudSuite Industrial is multi site. Vendors can be shared across sites, the Multi-Site Vendors form maintains them from a master site and the Voucher Builder creates vouchers in many sites. Entities can hold consolidated ledgers for sites that report to them.

- Multi-site, not a separate-ledger group view

## What you need in CloudSuite Industrial

- Multi-site installation
- Infor CloudSuiteEntity module licence for entity users
- Replication Rules for the Voucher Builder category
